    the tongue begin the mechanical breakdown of food into smaller pieces. The tongue has taste buds with receptors sensitive to substances. The eye and the olfactory receptors in the nose are important for stimulating the salivary glands in the mouth to secrete saliva. Salivary amylase begins the digestion of starch into maltose. Eventually the semi-solid‚ partially digested food particles are stuck together to form a bolus by the tongue‚ which then pushes it towards the pharynx from where it is swallowed

    multigrain bread provided me with carbohydrates. As I take a bite of the peanut butter and jelly sandwich I crush all three of the macronutrients with my teeth. The role of saliva helps moistens the food while a digestive enzyme in the saliva called salivary amylase (ptyalin) helps breaks down the complex carbohydrates mostly contained in the bread into simple sugars. Once the food has been sufficiently chewed‚ the tongue rolls it into a ball known as a bolus and pushes it into the pharynx. In a combination

    mono-saccharide molecules which can be easily absorbed by the body. The first step of digestion is the moment we put the food in mouth. As we chew the food‚ the saliva released by the salivary glands of the mouth starts its work of breaking up of the carbohydrates. This is possible because of the presence of a special enzyme named amylase in the saliva. Then we swallow the food and it goes to the stomach. Here the digestive acids secreted by the glands of the stomach play a major role in processing the carbohydrate
